Chapter 269: Capture the Dark Sun Holy Son

The battle of the eighth‑stage crown‑rank powerhouse came to an end.

Ta Ke sat quietly cross‑legged inside the Forbidden Curtain Stage.

In his mind, the various tactics used in the fight between the two powerhouses appeared one after another.

The power of these various strong attack methods was indeed astonishingly destructive.

But what left a deeper impression on Ta Ke were the two powerhouses' various miraculous methods.

For example, Archbishop Li Gen·Qiao, who could continuously draw upon the power of the Saint Roland World.

Mobilizing the power of the Saint Roland World to continually block Lu Xi·En's various injuries.

Including the Blood Clan's regular attacks, Blood Clan sorcery, Blood Clan sequence abilities, and even the attack of that dangerous‑level forbidden item.

And the Blood Clan Crown Archbishop was equally not weak.

"Since you don't care about my life or death, why are you still telling me all this?"

The three's speed was no longer as urgent as before.

It turned out to be the Dark Sun Holy Son, Wen De Er·Fu Lang Xi Si.

At this moment, in the opponent's seemingly inconspicuous fire attack method,

As the words fell, Ta Ke pressed down with one hand.

But it made Wen De Er·Fu Lang Xi Si's complexion grow ever paler.

"He suddenly disappeared; he must be dealing with something important."

The battle outside came to an end.

"Enduring much humiliation and torment."

He indeed blew out a lot of fire.

This scene fell into Archbishop Li Gen·Qiao's eyes, and he instantly understood why this Blood Clan Archbishop did not flee.

"It might even be used as a scapegoat."

"If we can't capture him alive, dead is fine."

Ta Ke took out a yellowish seal scroll, gave it a shake, and sealed the Dark Sun Holy Son Wen De Er·Fu Lang Xi Si inside, completing the seal.

A top‑tier fourth‑stage Shadow Magic Spider Lord.

He always felt someone was spying in the dark.

"On the contrary,"

As a result, five Dark Sun geniuses were relatively unlucky; they were surrounded during their escape, ultimately failed to get away, and died miserably deep underground.

Some kind of powerful "Supernatural Defense"?

This scene made Ta Ke's eyebrows slightly rise.

Although Ta Ke had initially attained the Supernatural State, he was still relatively weak and could not sustain the "Supernatural Defense," a method requiring immense bearing capacity.

Because!

The cold wind howled past, and the half‑person‑high weeds on the wasteland, in the cold wind, resembled demons waving their claws.

"The Holy Son's methods are formidable; even a sixth‑stage powerhouse's pursuit couldn't catch him."

Ta Ke, sitting cross‑legged inside the Forbidden Curtain Stage, glanced over the magic parchment before him.

"Pap pap pap"

But more of the fire seeped into deeper places, the flames like poisonous snakes, frantically drilling downward.

Yet Wen De Er·Fu Lang Xi Si's complexion showed no improvement at all.

"Wuu wuu wuu"

It was actually full of loopholes.

The expressionless Wen De Er·Fu Lang Xi Si consecutively unleashed Dark Sun Wings.

"I've heard that you came from the Eastern Continent before."

The scorching of his soul, flesh, and Supernatural State grew increasingly fierce.

"After all, the news of the Dark Sun Ecology's great collapse and the fall of the Blood Clan Crown Archbishop will appear in tomorrow's reports."

"In this great event worthy of being recorded in history, the death of the Dark Sun Holy Son is merely a tiny dot of embellishment in this great victory."

Ta Ke spoke softly.

Dark Sun Wings flapped violently behind him like a huge wave curtain, for a moment covering the sky and blocking the sun.

He just stood there quietly watching!

But Lu Xi·En lost the protection of the Dark Sun Ecology.

This place is already some distance from Saint Roland; the enemy should not be able to catch up.

"Hey, Ke Lei Ji, the Holy Son has disappeared!"

He even had conducted some research on it.

The Blood Clan Crown Archbishop "Lu Xi·En" even wanted to enter 【Deep Space】 to seek life in death.

These three people.

After all, at this very moment, he was still being controlled by the opponent's puppet silk threads.

He simply could not escape.

…………

A surge containing powerful Rune Mystery swiftly swept over the flames that had burned into the body.

This was the mighty wings he condensed by sacrificing and drawing upon the bones of Dark Sun Angels.

Knowing the fire was extremely fierce, Wen De Er·Fu Lang Xi Si immediately retracted his Dark Sun Wings and then flicked them sharply against his own body.

The surrounding layout was also quite elaborate.

"Where did the Holy Son go?"

Even... that damned Defiler Ta Ke.

Wen De Er·Fu Lang Xi Si inhaled deeply, his gaze slowly settling on Ta Ke, and he spoke slowly.

But Ta Ke didn't care at all about what Wen De Er·Fu Lang Xi Si thought.

Ta Ke smiled.

There were still many idle seal barrier stones.

"Wow—"

Holy Son Knight Hei Zi Er thought for a moment and said.

One can only say this guy's death was indeed a bit... unfair.

It fell upon Wen De Er·Fu Lang Xi Si.

Realizing that dragging it out would only make Wen De Er·Fu Lang Xi Si more passive, he immediately unleashed his Dark Sun wings to their fullest.

Fighting for three days and three nights would be no problem at all.

Ta Ke examined Wen De Er·Fu Lang Xi Si, smiled, and said.

"No... want to struggle a bit longer?"

Ta Ke exhaled lightly and gently rubbed his palm.

He seemed to see something like curtains floating around.

Bang bang…

It can both heal his injuries and attack Archbishop Li Gen Qiao, dealing damage.

The scorching burning force, like a keen dagger, continuously pierced Wen De Er·Fu Lang Xi Si's Dark Sun defense.

"Cut it for me."

The more a hooked fish struggles, the more it piques the angler's interest.

Ta Ke shrugged.

"Interested in having dinner together?"

Ta Ke's words instantly froze Wen De Er·Fu Lang Xi Si's complexion.

"These winds and waves are truly strong! Your Highness Holy Son."

And Archbishop Li Gen Qiao leaned against Sheng Lan De.

A total of 18 sheets.

Following the puppet strings, the "seal barrier" poured in quickly blossomed; as the flames were extinguished, Wen De Er·Fu Lang Xi Si sealed swiftly.

After releasing the flames, he made no further moves.

With Archbishop Li Gen Qiao's battle against Blood Clan Archbishop Lu Xi En ending.

It struck from the mortal realm to the spirit realm, then from the spirit realm to the shadow realm.

After a surge of powerful rune winds.

Holy Son Knight Hei Zi Er shouted toward the guide ahead, Ke Lei Ji.

"You needn't consider yourself so important."

"Capturing a Sixth‑rank Archbishop might be a bit difficult."

The three of them proceeded toward the Black River Valley.

"Are you trying to capture me alive?"

When the surface flame was blown away, the inner flame immediately burst out.

As the rune winds carried away more flame, the fire within his body not only didn't weaken; under the clash of fire and wind runes, it grew increasingly fierce and scorching.

"Puppet strings?"

"Bang bang bang…"

Some people just vanish while walking, and that refers to Wen De Er·Fu Lang Xi Si.

He... seemed to be admiring the struggle of a fish after being hooked.

"You didn't break free from the puppet strings and the flame's scorching; that... disappoints me a bit."

But the battle here for Ta Ke has only just begun.

Originally, the anchored geniuses totaled 23.

Besides that, the opponent kept injecting bizarre magical fire oil through those puppet strings into his flesh, soul, and even his sequence.

This created a certain gap in strength between the two.

The Blood Clan's endurance and super‑strong regeneration made Ta Ke enviously impressed.

"I originally thought... you would be... stronger."

And this is also Defiler Ta Ke's home ground.

Wen De Er·Fu Lang Xi Si hoarsely laughed.

Especially, among them is a level‑34 Dark Sun Church genius, said to have come from the Southern Sun‑Rock Empire.

Rainy season is about to arrive!

The leaden clouds of the sky pressed down heavily.

"You can endure such heat so well; I think... the main barbecue for the Sheng Lan De celebration feast in a few days is ready."

Besides Defiler Ta Ke here.

After Ta Ke anchored, he found that this level‑34 Dark Sun genius possessed an extraordinary talent close to S‑rank.

In the end, the fierce battle lasted nearly two hours.

Wen De Er·Fu Lang Xi Si couldn't help but recall the contents of the magical letter his subordinate knight Mei Lai De had given him.

"Die by my hand; you still die as a Holy Son, at least the name of Holy Son Wen De Er·Francis will endure forever."

His fate has already been sealed.

The advancing Holy Son Knight Hei Zi Er mutters something intermittently.

And the Transcendent Defense built around the Transcendent State needs no further explanation.

Wen De Er·Francis slowly withdraws his gaze from this vast curtain stage.

And now!

Four seal barrier stones taller than a person have been set up here.

At this moment, within the magical parchment scroll before Ta Ke, among the 18 surviving and escaped geniuses.

"You are a clever person."

But Lu Xi·En's suicidal escape attempt was forcibly pulled back by Ta Ke.

Deep within the Holy Land, the terrifying source‑energy fluctuations continuously spread.

As a result, this near S‑rank 34th‑level genius was instantly frozen into an ice block by a sixth‑tier bishop's "Extreme Cold Freeze", without any chance to resist, and died on the spot.

While advancing, Wen De Er's vision becomes slightly blurred.

Under the struggle of a trapped beast.

This is the strong wizard's arena.

Wen De Er·Francis lets out a low roar.

He looks toward the opposite side not far away.

During the ensuing duel between the two, Ta Ke observes while silently striking multiple times.

Bloodline Grand Bishop Lu Xi·En meets a gruesome death at the hands of Grand Bishop Gen·Qiao of the Three‑Eyed Divine Church.

Moreover, the surging Netherblood Sea forms a massive vortex of death.

It even has already employed the highly potent Transcendent Defense.

He cannot resist that powerful curse that directly drags it over.

…

"Hehe…"

Holy Son Knight Hei Zi Er suddenly senses something amiss while speaking.

And his two Holy Son Knights.

Even if one could extinguish the infiltrating flames, what then?

His resistance is merely a change of slaughter stance on the opponent's cutting board.

"Look… you're dead, more useful than being alive!"

He builds his own Transcendent Defense centered on the Transcendent State.

"After all, I have prepared for you seal barriers, the Spirit‑Walking Hand, world suppression, as well as my Dual‑Core Steam·Angel, the blooming of the Transcendent State, and many other methods."

Snicker…

"Transcendent Defense" for the Transcendent State is like wearing heavy armor.

But it is discovered that, at some unknown moment, the Dark Sun Holy Son trailing behind has suddenly disappeared.

Ta Ke's words cause Wen De Er·Francis's pupils to tremble slightly; he ultimately does not retort.

Third‑tier top Flame Demon Lord.

"Even if you return alive, in this disastrous situation, your Holy Son status cannot be preserved."

At this moment, Wen De Er·Francis is utterly desperate.

A wind rune vortex surges and blossoms around Wen De Er·Francis.

One must admit that this Dark Sun Holy Son, Wen De Er·Francis, is also unlucky.

Immediately, Ta Ke takes a deep breath and blows forcefully.

"If you expect to see desperate struggles, wails, and clown‑like pleas on me, I think you'll be disappointed."

Adding the seven Forbidden Rule Fragments Ta Ke wields directly seals the fate of this Bloodline Crown Grand Bishop.

Yet even so, Bloodline Grand Bishop Lu Xi·En still resisted for two hours.

Even Ta Ke now dares not claim how long one can hold against a bishop‑level strongman, let alone this 33rd‑level genius of the Sunstone Empire.

Wrapped in flames, Wen De Er·Francis feels a sudden heaviness in his heart.

Originally, the two's strengths were not far apart.

"But… I have already completed the puppet anchoring of your life thread."

The Transcendent State, containing sequential power, is far more resilient than a mere mortal body.

"If possible, capture alive."

Ta Ke's extraction of Forbidden Rule Fragments makes Grand Bishop Lu Xi·En stand dumbfounded as if he has lost his mind.

At this moment, Ta Ke has anchored four Forbidden Rule Fragments onto him.

"In this era of massive tides, you… are insignificant."

A sudden gale rushes in.

With top‑tier resources cultivated, perhaps one could awaken an S‑rank Transcendent Talent in the future.

Ta Ke politely asks.

Six consecutive Fate‑Pattern left revolver bullets all strike Wen De Er·Francis.

"But dealing with a fourth‑tier Transcendent who has grafted an S‑rank Transcendent Talent is relatively easier."

"This time, it may be ten to a hundred times more brutal than before."

Thus the entire area becomes an immovable confinement space.

When we first arrived at Saintland, the ceremony welcoming him was so grand.

A crisp and fierce gunshot rang out quickly.

Its powerful vampire secret sorcery caused the nether blood sea to surge and flow, continuously pouring in from the nether.

The Dark Sun Saint Wendell Francis was also conspicuously among them.

But only layers of Dark Sun ripples waved across his surface.

"Even perhaps it cannot take up much space, maybe it's just a short message in the report."

The duel between the two shattered all the underground areas it affected.

"After all, this is the hunting arena I spent a lot of effort setting up."

Crisp applause echoed through the vast space, sounding somewhat lonely.

He was walking fine, but ended up stepping onto this bizarre stage.

……

The fish meat on the cutting board has no right to discuss its preparation with the butcher who wields the cleaver.

During the assault by Saintland's strongmen, they showed no intention of resisting at all.

"Hmm… wait a moment! The Saint will be back soon!"

Scorching flames were suddenly poured at Wendell Francis.

The advancing Wendell Francis felt worse than this bizarre weather.

Ta Ke's words made Wendell Francis's complexion change.

Wendell Francis couldn't take in a single word.

For a moment, the sound of some silk threads snapping kept echoing.

When the Dark Sun Saint Wendell Francis was anchored by Ta Ke's Forbidden Rule Fragment.

"What a pity, I just started and you're already down!"

Burned by the flames, Wendell Francis suddenly folded his Dark Sun Wings and, in the fire, stared coldly at Ta Ke.

During that time.

Wendell Francis became quiet at this moment.

Scattered around, illuminating a large area.

He kept glancing backward.

His own desperate struggle only added to the opponent's interest in the slaughter.

"You… still want to capture me alive?"

Even… he could barely move at all.

Previously, he escaped the pursuit of a sixth‑tier bishop strongman thanks to those Dark Sun Wings.

"In front of everyone, a Dark Sun Angel descended from the Dark Sun God, tore open the soul and body, endured the Angel's all‑round probing of your body, entering and exiting more than a dozen times."

"Clearly I didn't intend that."

A massive blaze was swiftly expelled from Wendell Francis's body.

Now, when fleeing Saintland, how chaotic it is.

Ta Ke's matching of the opponent's projection pattern caught the fleeing Wendell Francis dead on.

Overall, this Saintland ecological war has entered its final concluding stage.

The grand drama of the Forbidden Curtain Stage is about to unfold.

And the God Defiler—Ta Ke!

Undoubtedly, all this was done by the God Defiler Ta Ke.

This God Defiler even prepared so many methods.

That kind of spying felt like a judgment of fate.

"It reminds me of the 'Divine Miracle Desert' in the Half‑God World I visited before, the wind there was… a sour thrill…"

Normally, the Fate Revolver can make an ordinary fourth‑tier transcendent's soul tremble, their transcendent state even tear their flesh.

The downfall of the transcendent masters of the Dark Sun Church's three great cathedrals was faster than imagined.

The Fate Revolver's damage seems ineffective against this Dark Sun Saint.

While Wendell Francis tries to break free from Ta Ke's puppet thread bindings.

Ta Ke smiled.

And the research result was crystal clear: "This is not something he can study."

"When we are all buying time, all you can do is probe the surroundings as much as possible and set up some simple arrangements."

The towering, heavily armored Ke Lei Ji turned around to look; he gave no reply, but walked toward a crooked‑necked tree beneath a small hill nearby.

Saintland Wasteland.

Catching a dead fish, what does that even mean?

Many ecological projections that wanted to watch were sucked in and torn to pieces.

Ta Ke thought for a moment before responding softly.

Because Wendell Francis already felt his body beginning to lose control.

Even after breaking the puppet threads, he would still be trapped in this bizarre curtain zone.

Saint Knight Hei Zi Er scanned the wasteland, but saw not a trace of anything.

"Wha‑la‑la…"

"Hoo…"

Making Lu Xi En, already at a disadvantage, even more snowed under.

The seal barrier stone containing powerful seal barrier power, Wendel Francis has seen many of them below.

"Interesting!"

Thanks to the Dark Sun Bishop giving Taku such top-tier resources, otherwise Taku couldn't do it like this; he would capture all the many geniuses of the Dark Sun Church in one net.

This transcendent defense, Dark Sun Ear Armor, is a formidable technique he achieved by channeling Dark Sun power through his recent cultivation.

That scorching flame directly burned through his weakly condensed Dark Sun Ear Armor, scorching his physical body, soul, transcendent state, and even his Dark Sun ecology.

At this moment, deep underground, although some areas still have sporadic battles, they are all small-scale, low-level battles, insignificant.

And Wendel Francis, this Dark Sun Holy Son who is about to advance to the fifth stage, has a very strong transcendent state.

"But... the gap between us lies here."

Moreover, the burning speed is extremely fast.

The all-around battle in the underground world also gradually came to a close.

The greatest aspect of the Transcendent Sequence is that it allows transcendent beings to do so when their transcendent state is just beginning to form.

He had clearly escaped Holy Landau, yet he was still found by a group scouting outside with an ecology projection.

Now, it's Taku's wonderful moment to enjoy the spoils, and naturally he won't care what the spoils think.

The already fragile multi-layer domain dimension was constantly torn apart and shattered by the two.

"He really is a hopeless guy."

He immediately turned back to look.

He looked at the floating magic parchment avatars of the Dark Sun Church geniuses before him.

"You're next!"

Taku randomly selected a lucky spectator.
